MARC recordThe melting of ice in the Arctic Ocean: the influence of double-diffusive transport of heat from below / J.S. Turner.
| Title: | The melting of ice in the Arctic Ocean: the influence of double-diffusive transport of heat from below / J.S. Turner. |
| Author(s): | Turner, J. S. |
| Date: | 2010. |
| In: | Journal of Physical Oceanography. (2010.), Vol. 40(1) (2010) |
| Abstract: | Presents results of series of laboratory experiments exploring possibility that extra heating at depth could be responsible for observed increase in rate of melting of sea ice in Arctic Ocean. Experiments have demonstrated that one-dimensional heat flux from below, through series of double-diffusive layers, can in principle lead to faster melting of floating ice. Recommends quantitative testing of findings under ocean conditions and comparison of results with other possible mechanisms of melting. |
